Description
12 Acres Brewing Company is a new craft brewery located in Clonmore, Killeshin, Co. Laois. It has been set up by brothers Patrick, Ian, Barry & Rory McDonald on their family farm.
12 Acres Brewing company at Clonmore, Killeshin is the first commercial brewery to operate in County Laois since the closure of Perrys of Rathdowney in 1966. The idea for a farm-based microbrewery was the brainchild of Paddy McDonald, whose father, grandfather and great grandfather all farmed at Clonmore.
“The 12 Acres field on our farm is where we have been growing malting barley for the brewing industry for generations. Now we are craft brewing our own beer and we’ve named it after one of the fields where the barley is grown”.

Can 440ml (KCM Mikkola)
Murky yellow colour, small white head. Juicy tropical fruity - pineapple, mango - aroma. Light-bodied. Juicy with lots of grapefruit. Simple but lots of taste for 3.8% beer. Not too expensive either.
